Ukulele Jam Info Page

Welcome

Hi there! Great to have you here, and can’t wait to see you at our next jam!

I currently host an online ukulele jam 1st Saturdays, 1-2:30pm PT, live on Zoom. Fingers crossed for in person jams here in Portland, OR, beginning again in 2023…

Each jam, we play songs out of a common songbook. You can download (and print, if you like) the latest version below. Sometimes, I’ll include extra song charts for a special / themed jam — scroll down for details regarding our jam, and for the “archives” from past jams, as well.

Jams are free and open to all. If you’re able to offer a donation, teaching music is my livelihood, so I am very grateful! Here are some ways you can donate:

  • Via credit card or Paypal on my website: donate to the Zoom jam here
  • Venmo me @averyhillstudio
  • Send me a check, made out to “Avery Hill”, at: Avery Hill, PO Box 40073, Portland OR 97240.

THANK YOU!
